@yenerowna Actually, to hear an earlier example of spoken rap/hip hop with more of a contemporary swing to it, have a listen to "Everybody's Gonna Have A Wonderful Time Up There" by Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The year was 1946. There is a YouTube video of this...
You can tell that she was familiar with Fats Waller. Wonderful music. I wish could come back.

I really enjoy this clip, but when I found an LP by them, it was rather disappointing. She was an amazing talent.
